. NOZZLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 550,643, dated December 3, 1895.

Application filed November 26, 1894. Serial No. 530,015. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES H. PHILLIPS, of Malden, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Nozzles, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification.

My invention relates to that class of waternozzles that are attached to fixed bases and are adjustable as to direction of discharge, the object being to so construct the device that the nozzle may be adjusted to stand in any desired position and to discharge a stream of water in any desired direction Without interfering with or diminishing its water-way. This object I attain by the mechanism shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a front elevation of my device. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the same.

In the drawings, let Arepresent a base-licor or foundation of any kind, to which I attach a base-piece or standard B, which is hollow and is connected with the watersupply.

B is a beveled gear forming a part of or attached to the standard B.

D is a pipe having at its lower end a flange D2 and a coned terminal D', adapted to fit into and form a water-tight joint with the screwbushing G. The bushing C has a flange C' at its upper end, as shown, and is adapted to engage with a clamping-ring D2, which is adjustably held by screw-bolts D4 D4 to the iiange D2 of the bifurcated pipe D. The upper end of the pipe D has two branches D5 D5, each of which is formed with an opening extending laterally through it. These openings are adapted to receive annular bushings H H2 for connecting interiorly the branches D5 and D6 to the nozzle-piece H. The nozzle-piece H has an opening extending laterally through it, into which the bushings HI-I2 are screwed, as shown in Fig. 3. The bushings H H2 serve as trunnions (journaled in the circular openings made in the branches D5 D6 of the pipe) for the nozzle-piece H to turn upon.

H2 H4 are packing-rings, which serve, together with some suitable packing, to make a tight joint, and also serve as cheek-nuts to prevent the bushings H2 and H from unscrewing and thus becoming loose in the nozzlepiece H.

K represents the nozzle, which is screwed into the nozzle-piece H.

The lateral openings in the branches D5 D6 of the pipe are closed by head-pieces E E. (See Fig. 3.)

The fact that the bushings H H2 overhang the openings in the branches D6 D5, as shown in Fig. 3,insures the tightening of the joint between the said bushings and the branches when the pressure of the water forces the branches apart.

By the above-described arrangement of the several parts it may be seen that the nozzle may freely swing from the vertical upright position indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2 to the nearly or quite vertically downward position, also indicated by dotted lines.

A Motion in the vertical plane is given to the nozzle by the following-described device: A ring worm-gear L is formed on the periphery of the nozzle-piece H and adapted to engage with the worm M, as shown. The worm is turned by the hand-wheel M2 on the shaft M of the said worm. The worm M, acting on the worm-gear L, not only serves to turn the nozzle in the direction desired, but it also serves to hold it rigidly in place.

I will now describe the mechanism for turning the nozzle in a horizontal plane.

B2 is a beveled gear having a shaft B2, which has bearings in the pipe D at B5, Fig. 3, and in the bracket B4, which is bolted to the branch D5 of the pipe D. A crank B5 serves to turn the gear B2. As the gear B2 engages with the fixed gear B on vthe stand B, it is evident that by turning the gear B2 the pipe D D D2 and all parts connected to it will be turned. 'Ihus the nozzle K may be turned in any desired direction.

If thought desirable, one of the branches D5D6may be omittedthat is, the pipe D `may be single, having an opening on one side only, to which the nozzle-piece H can be attached by a bushing, like H2, and a screw-ring, like H4. In this case the nozzle H also has but one side opening.

I claim-a i Y In combination a delivery nozzle interiorly connected to an annular nozzle-piece, said nozzle-piece being provided with lateral bushings adapted to serve as trunnions as well as lOO water ways and journaled in the branches of abifurcated pipe, andthebifurcatedpipe, the In testimony whereof I have signed my 1o said bushings being so made as to overhang name to this speciiication, in the presence of the openings in the bifurcated pipe as detwo subscribing` witnesses, on this 22d day of scribed, whereby the pressure of the water November, A.

as and for the purpose set forth. WVM. P. PERRY.
